Because we are doing this workshop in the WORM institute - what better subject to
focus on then WORMS....Worms are exciting and wonderfull creatures.

What do you know about WORMS? Here is some interesting WORM trivia:

LARGEST WORMS

The largest earthworm in the world is the African Giant Earthworm (Microchaetus Rappi)
It can grow as long as 6.7 meters!

But things get even more EXTREME in WORM TRIVIA...

The longest worm and also longest known animal in the world is the Lineus Longissimus -
also known as the bootlace worm. A type of ribbon worm (Nemertea - inverteberate animal)

it can grow to 55 meters !!! (That is around 180 ft. Found in tide pools, muddy beaches,
 shallow seaside pools, rocky intertidal shores, mostly around Great Britian.  Its mucus
is highly toxic and slimey so don't pick it up or eat it if you see it.


Here are some interesting cryptozoological psuedoscientific worms - CRYPTIDS WORMS (that
only exist in folklore and have never been proven to exist or are not yet discovered):

MONGOLIAN DEATHWORM
                                                           ____

Modest in size this Cryptozooligcal creature (approx. 1.5 meters length) is the Mongolian
death worm which you might be already acquinted with. Supposedly living in the deepest parts
of the Gobi desert where it hides under the sand. Extremely dangerous - touching it causes
instant pain and suffering - it can spray a corroding venom from a distance and some even
say it can spit an electrical discharge. Many expeditions have been undertaken to prove
its existence - all have failed.

More exotic within cryptozooligcal circles is the Brazilian Minhocão. A Worm Lizard
creature of Immense size and fantastic proportions - 20 to 50 meters. It is believed
to live in the deepest not yet explored forests of Central and South America where it
lives in giant trenches and snacks on big animals and humans that dare to enter its
habitational zone.



BEST WORM MOVIE:

DUNE (USA 1984) - based on Frank Herberts 1965 novel directed by David Lynch
Starring Kyle MacLachlan (agent COOP) - Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard of Star Trek
TNG) - the great Bergman actor MAX VON SYDOW -  Sting (don't know if thats a good
thing - though I have a soft spot for the Ben Liebrand mix of Englishman in New York)
and lots of other legendary actors.

The movie tells the story about the planet ARAKIS a sand planet with mostly
dunes, in which giant worms roam about - these worms produce the SPICE -
the most precious substance in the universe. The SPICE extends life, expands
conscioussness and makes space travel possible. The SPICE through evolutionairy
mutation - created a guild of space navigators who can fold space - they can
travel throughout any part of the universe without moving.

When it came out in 1984 it was slaughtered by the movie critics - as far as
being nominated for worst movie of the year! "a real mess, an incomprehensible,
ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most
confusing screenplays of all time" What travestry! What LIES!
People that don't understand this movie should go watch Transformers 2 or
Atomic Blonde or something else that is on their primeordeal larval mind level.
I watch DUNE every year, sometimes twice a year and find it completely
understandable.

if you haven't seen it do it now - its 1000000 times better then Star Wars
which is a movie for drooling baby men who secretly jerk off to Disney stuff.

This movie tinkles the mind makes new connections in your brain

THE SPICE MUST FLOW!!!
